Last year, Microsoft made $101 billion in profits, got a $12.5 billion tax break from Trump & paid its CEO $96 million.

This year, it’s raising the price of an Xbox by $150 & eliminating 3,200 jobs.

Please don’t tell me corporate tax breaks create jobs. It never trickles down.

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. I know @realDonaldTrump and family did.

250 years ago we declared independence from a king who ran the colonies as a family business. In just 18 months the Trumps have made King George look like an amateur.

A $620 million Pentagon loan, the largest in the program’s history, to a company Don Jr.’s firm bought into three months before.

An Air Force drone contract to a startup the princelings took public through a golf course company they own a piece of.

The Army’s largest drone motor order ever, to a company where Don Jr. sits on the board and holds millions in stock.

A $24 million Pentagon robotics contract to the company that employs Eric as Chief Strategy Advisor.

A stake in the largest undeveloped tungsten deposit on earth, in Kazakhstan, backed by $1.6 billion in US government support.

Jared’s fund seeded with $2 billion from the Saudi crown prince, now $6.2 billion, 99% of it foreign money from Gulf governments. Over $110 million in fees collected from the Saudis alone. He negotiates American foreign policy with the governments that pay him.

$2.3 billion from crypto ventures their father regulates. More than a million people bought in and lost $2.3 billion. The money didn’t grow. It simply moved from the subjects pockets to the crown’s coffers.

And the next one is already drafted. A proposed ATF rule that will allow guns to be shipped straight to your front door. The government’s own estimate is 3.3 million home gun deliveries a year. Don Jr. sits on the board of the online gun megastore built to cash in. He holds 300,000 shares.

And that’s only the fraction they’ve allowed us to see. Not one subpoena served. Not one search executed. Why hide anything when you own the investigators?

Me? They searched a laptop for six years. Federal prosecutors. Grand juries. Subpoena power. Congressional hearings. They found nothing. I made about $200k a year selling paintings when my Dad was President, and they made my paintings part of an impeachment inquiry.

For six years they’ve asked Where’s Hunter? What about the laptop?

Wrong questions. The right one is 250 years old. Does America belong to a family?

They’ve given their answer. Long live the King.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

If a nurse gives a Senator $50 to vote for Medicare for All, it's illegal.

But Larry Ellison, worth $202 billion, spent $45 million to get Trump elected. So Trump is helping his family control:

CBS
CNN
TikTok
HBO
TNT
MTV
BET
And more

That’s a corrupt campaign finance system.

If Barack Obama had accepted an airplane as a personal gift from a middle eastern country, retrofitted it on our dime & started using it for official presidential business, Republicans would have called for his immediate removal from office & Fox would be screaming about it 24/7.

@pradeeban You would be surprised how many mothers are/were like this. But it’s not helpful to anyone to put that in LinkedIn. LinkedIn has become like Facebook

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

Obama inspires us to not lose faith and keep fighting for justice.

An important reminder today on Juneteenth that rights on paper are not enough if they are not enforced in practice. Freedom was declared in 1863, but many people remained enslaved until 1865.

We still have much work to do to bend the moral arc of the universe towards justice.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.

If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.

@AingkaranK It is unbelievable this govt letting this woman to talk against the Child Protection Authority lawyers. Who is she supporting, or more over who are they supporting? The robe wearing rapist?

[Vitalii @Vitali_Iarema]

Billionaires literally paralyzed the Monaco harbor. Over 200 (!) yachts showed up for the latest F1 Grand Prix. Prince Albert II, Kim Kardashian, Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Donald Trump Jr., and a bunch of other celebs were spotted on board. Some of these boats even pulled up with $5 million Koenigseggs and Bugattis parked right on the deck.

And watch these exact same people gather at some climate summit later to lecture you about how dropping a candy wrapper is destroying the planet 💀

@HunterBiden @SoundDobad You give then back the best!

So much for “One Country, One Law.”

If every citizen is equal before the law, why is the Government/ President @anuradisanayake now moving towards creating a separate mechanism to discipline Buddhist monks?

Are monks outside the jurisdiction of the ordinary courts and legal system of Sri Lanka?If not, why is there a need for a special structure with separate authority?

Who will sit in these bodies?Who appoints them?What safeguards exist to ensure independence, transparency, and accountability?Or is this simply another political exercise designed to shield certain individuals from the consequences of the general law?

And if one religious community is granted a special disciplinary mechanism, what happens when Catholics, Hindus, Muslims, or any other faith demand the same?Can a country function with parallel systems of justice based on religion?

This is exactly how dangerous precedents begin.

The issue here is not Buddhism. Buddhism must be respected and protected.But respect for religion cannot mean weakening the principle of equality before the law.

Sri Lanka cannot preach equality on political stages and then create exceptions when it becomes politically convenient.

Leadership is about consistency, not populism. You cannot campaign on “One Country, One Law” and then selectively move towards separate legal structures when pressured.

Why is everyone silent?
Why are the same people who screamed about equality before the law suddenly afraid to question this?
Why are all political parties and politicians silent?

A nation governed by emotion, selective outrage, and political convenience will never build true rule of law

[Chaminda Dias @chami9539]

This is dire... but not a surprise. We have built a system that routinely fails victims of abuse.

Recently, a friend was physically assaulted by her husband. When she went to the police and made a complaint, the response was for the policewoman to call the husband and ask him to take her home because men are seen as the head of the household.

That entrenched misogyny meant she was asked to be patient, think of the children, and try to work things out... and this was after she had been battered.

The case is still going nowhere, and she remains trapped in that home, still living with a violent and unpredictable man.

So when people ask why there is outrage when children allege abuse, this is why... If grown women can't get protection from a system steeped in misogyny and power imbalances, what chance does a child have?

Then add another layer.. the reverence and protection afforded to religious institutions. Those children are not just fighting an individual abuser but an entire system.

That is why people are angry, why I am angry. That is why this has touched a nerve throughout the country.

Anyone who feels that this is an attack on the institution of Buddhism needs to rethink their worldview. It is the abuser who is denigrating the religion, not those asking for accountability on behalf of voiceless children.

@lunaberryx May be he empathizes with the robed child rapist. Birds of same feathers and all that.

[Yasuni Manikkage @ManikkageYasuni]

Are we so blinded by religion that we justify and normalize the rape of children?
I am speechless at the audacity of these "professional men" to come in front of cameras and speak like this.
We have really failed as a country...
Shameful.

[Soda @openairfree]

@h_liyan She is a brave woman. All hats off to her.

[AruniW @aruwij]

@Dr_HariniA @anuradisanayake
please answer.
Why does he get special treatment? What have you people done about the child who was raped?
What are you people going to do about the constant child abuse that happens in religious institutions?

I am asking my government what they are going to do to protect OUR children!

[Soda @openairfree]

@rangaba If you are a yellow robe wearing rapist, you will get preferential treatment in SL.
